[Touch-packages] [Bug 1722185] Re: Crash installing packages using debconf
Since the proposed changes are quite big and seem a bit intrusive, I would appreciate a Regression Potential analysis as per our SRU guidelines. I would like to know where we could expect regressions after this change lands in the stable series. Also, even though this does seem to be like a frequently-seen crash for both bionic and artful, I wouldn't want to jam it into the stable series too hastily. I see the second PackageKit pull request has not yet been approved by upstream - could we get someone reviewing it and merging before we proceed? Normally I'd also wait for cosmic to migrate, but I actually see we're only blocked on the armhf tests not being run - so it seems to be fine so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722185 Title: Crash installing packages using debconf Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in packagekit source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] Installing .deb package via PackageKit (e.g. using GNOME Software) don't work reliably when the packages use debconf.
